The Scripture tell us in the Book of Revelation, chapter 14 and verse 13: "Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."
"Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."

[Editor's comment: It has been my privilege to know Dwight Burchett since October 1975 when I was elected the third president of Southwestern College, now Southwestern Christian University. He was a great supporter of Southwestern College. After I resigned as president and went back into the pastorate Dwight was a mentor/teacher to me in various areas of leadership in the church. We remained friends for life. I have lost temporarily a prince of a man, and a prince of preachers and pastors. He was the ideal pastor, and knew how to equip the saints for the work of ministry. He will be greatly missed. Dwight brought on his pastoral staff and school in the area of music a member of my church in Birmingham, Marty Airhart. That decision was good for Dwight and his church, and for Marty and his wife, Marsha. To Mary we send our love and prayers as well as to their sons, daughter, and families. Mary has been a loyal and faithful subscriber to Hugh's News and has enlisted a number of her family and friends to subscribe to this newsletter.]
